I am a driven, fun, energetic English teacher. I am passionate about what I do, and I love teaching. Especially when working with younger students (Kindergarten and Elementary) I know they need to be constantly engaged in order to learn!

I strongly believe my personality, along with my teaching philosophy, help motivate students to do their best!

Cover Letter

Over the past 3 years, my goal has been to show students that English is more than just a textbook and flashcards.

English can be fun! English can be your favorite class. This is what I hope to inspire my students to realize, from kindergarten to high school and beyond, even when the material can be difficult.

Both one-on-one and in the classroom, I’ve had the opportunity to develop flexibility, patience and a passion that I hope shows in every class I teach.

I know Dave Shin (director of VivaCom) very well. We have been working together at an academy in Gyeonggi-do for the past ten months. He is an ESL teacher as well.
